The Influence Of Hongwu Zhengyun Yujian On The Radical Method Of Calligraphy In The Late Ming Dynasty

Hongwu Zhengyun Yujian is an index table of the prefix of Hongwu Zhengyun which is rearranged according to the method of prefix arrangement.It was written in the early Ming and Wanli Dynasties.The prefixes of Hongwu Zhengyun are arranged by rhyme,so it is difficult to check the characters:firstly,since they are unfamiliar words,most of them do not know their pronunciation,let alone their pronunciation by rhyme;secondly,even if they know the pronunciation of a word,but Hongwu Zhengyun is not compiled entirely on the time pronunciation,which rhyme it belongs to is also difficult to knew without a teacher.Orn the contrary,the font is relatively easy to grasp,so it is very helpful for the readers to consult the Hongwu Zhengyun,which is the purpose of compiling Hongwu Zhengyun.Hongwu Zhengyun Yujian was born to inspect the words of Hongwu Zhengyun for the first time,and the innovation of Hongwu Zhengyun was the inevitable outcome.Later Ming Dynasty calligraphy,such as Ancient Text Textual Research of Analogy Compilation,Hongwu Zhengyun Huibian and Zihui,were inspired by Hongwu Zhengyun Yujian,They were all based on Hongwu Zhengyun,or with some gains,and were compiled according to the first method.The compilation of these characters is deeply influenced by the radical method of Hongwu Zhengyun Yujian.This paper contains two parts,the body and the appendix.The body is divided into six chapters(including introduction),of which the second,third and fourth are the focus of this paper.By comparing the position,heading and subordinate word order of Hongwu Zhengyun Yujian with its previous character books such as Chenghua Dinghai Republished Five-tone Category and Four-tone Chapter Sea,this paper illustrates the innovation of heading method of Hongwu Zhengyun Yujian.Comparing the ranking of the headings,headings and subordinate characters of Hongwu Zhengyun Yujian with Ancient Textual Research of Analogy Compilation,Hongwu Zhengyun Huibian and Zihui in the late Ming Dynasty,this paper illustrates the influence of Hongwu Zhengyun Yujian on the headings of these three characters in the late Ming Dynasty,and then discusses the macroscopic influence of Hongwu Zhengyun Yujian on the headings of the later Ming Dynasty.Appendix includes three parts.Appendix 1 is the comparison table between Hongwu Zhengy'n Yujian and Sisheng Pianhai.Appendix 2 is the comparison table between Leizuan Gzlwenzi Kao,Hongwu Zhengyun Huibian,Zihui and Hongwu Zhengyun Keys.Appendix 3 is the comparison table between Hongw2 Zhengyun Yujian and Sisheng Pianhai,Leizuan Guwenzi Kao,Hongwu Zhengyun Huibian and Zihui Keys belongs to the comparison table.Through research,this paper finds that the late Ming Dynasty character books such as Leizuan Guwenzi Kao inherited the innovation of "simplified radicals,according to form radicals" in Hongwu Zhengyun Yujian,such as merging reduplicated radicals and merging radicals from a large to a small.In addition,some books such as Leizuan Guwenzi Kao inherited and developed such practices as "Hongwu Zhengyunyu Yujian" according to its original form,reducing the number of open doors,etc.In the order of radicals,compilation and vocabulary apply the method of sorting the subordinate characters of Hongwu Zhengyun Yujian according to the number of strokes to the order of radicals.In the sorting of subordinate characters,Leizuan Guwenzi Kao and other character books inherited the method of sorting the number of strokes in Hongwu Zhengyun Yujian.To sum up,the compilation of Leizuan Guwenzi Kao and other late Ming Dynasty calligraphy was deeply influenced by the heading method of Hongwu Zhengyun Yujian.
